Wyndham Hotels released a notice to their customers that their computer systems were once again hacked and sensitive customer data was stolen. The press release confirms that credit card numbers were stolen during the breach. Other news sites are reporting that there is a potential that customer names, addresses, credit card numbers and expiration dates could have also been lost.
I have always had the conviction that hotels and other companies should give their customers the option to allow the company to retain your credit card information. If the customer does not authorize it they should not be allowed to store it.
